Relaxing in Hawaii in 1990 on my way back from touring Japan with Carole King. The music clip makes it. It’s Barney Bigard Sextet playing ‘Sweet Marijuana Brown’ with Art Tatum on piano! 1945.

Joe Cohen RIP
My random movie maker recently surfaced a journal entry from 1997 when I was living on Westmoreland Ave. in Hollywood having just been evicted from my awesome rent-controlled apartment in Silverlake by a greedy landlord. One of my roommates was Joe Cohen. We got along okay, but basically trolled each other constantly. Joe was having a hard time finding work at the time. Today I discovered he’d passed in 2016.
Jazz!
When this photo popped up in my ‘random movie maker’ with Charlie Parker for a sound track. Robin, and Catherine at Carole’s birthday party 1992.
Hail Eris
Eris, the Greek goddess of Chaos.
This was the image I used to represent my ‘Found‘, collection of soundbites CD in 1996. I had a lot of help with this image from my friend and photographer extraordinaire, Ed Giunca.

Big Bad Bob Bayless – Ametron 1990
James Phillips would have taken the photo. His handy work (the z’s) written in the still-developing Polaroid.
These were the days when The Wild Blue Yonder was playing Lingerie and The Central. Bob and Maryann had an awesome Hollywood crib where they were filming the ‘Couch Concert’ series. Their band, Hollywood Wing Rats, were gigging as well. To keep a roof over our heads a bunch of us, including Danny Carey, were working in the AV Rentals section of Ametron. Oh man, these were some fun and crazy times.
